Greetings. I hope anyone reading this is well.
I've heard about folks removing their PulseAudio installations and leaving it all up to JACK on their systems, given that the two are normally not very good friends. However, there are also a bunch of people warning not to do it if one doesn't want to get into trouble when running generic applications such as web browsers, media players, and so forth.
My question to those who have removed PulseAudio: How's life?
Can you hack Firefox, VLC Media Player, OBS, Tangerine, and others to run using ALSA/JACK only? Is it a huge time investment in that one has to hack through every single application that would normally "prefer" PulseAudio, or is there a systemwide fix that will keep me up tinkering all night, but that I won't have to bother about ever again?
Yes, I've tried running PulseAudio through JACK. It works, but it just doesn't suit my needs, and is somewhat annoying to me for multiple different reasons.
Thank you in advance, and God bless.
